What is a generic top level domain?

Also called gTLDs, these are an expansion on the more familiar top-level domains (TLDs) that provide more variety for your business when choosing a domain name. New addresses are now becoming available such as .london, .wales, .koeln and .how so you can replace your .com, .co.uk or .net extensions with an address that more accurately describes your business. They can help your customers find your business easier as your location can now be part of your URL. The new generic top level domain registration from 123-reg is the perfect solution to set your brand apart from the competition.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) initiated the new TLD registration thus allowing companies to register new gTLDs and secure their business on the net. The process has set in motion and ICANN recently published the official list of generic domains that will be available.
